How many fedi users understand that? Know what RSS is? If it were explained to them, how might they react?
How many fedi users understand the basics of how federation works? Not many, based on the outrage of a bridge using the same federation protocol as their own server.
That too comes down to mental model of fedi sociality, I think, though.
Yes and I think a lot of these ppl complaining about bridging have an incorrect mental model of the fediverse. It was never a private haven, unless they are using allow-list federation. They have a view of the fediverse with very discrete and defined boundaries, but the fediverse is nebulous and crosses server/protocol/mediatype/etc boundaries
